Chapter 3-One idea, many minds

A.N- Sorry, but the chapter maybe a bit James Bondish


Shego screamed as she fell…

However, she did not fall very far because Drakken dived and held her hands. She looked up at him and was trying to hold back a smile. He pulled her up and they began to run to the nearest room, as soon as they got there Drakken closed the door behind them, "So, Shego, got any ideas?" Drakken asked, breathing heavily, the smoke was seeping into the room at a fast rate. The question took her by surprise but she didn't say anything, she looked around the room for something until she found the window, and she smiled. Drakken looked to where Shego's eyes were staring at. "You can't be serious, Shego." And he looked at her with fear in his eyes.

"Yeah, of course I am. It's either that or the fire and we haven't got much time to decide." She used a tone that had 'this is my final decision' written all over it.

"We'll die if we jump!" He yelled.

"We'll die if we stay here!" She yelled back. They glared at each other for a moment.

"You ready?" She held out her hand, expecting Drakken to take it. However, he looked at her as if it were a strange object.

"It's a hand, Drakken. You hold it." She answered curtly.

"I know that, but why?"

"Duh, so you don't drown when we jump." She sighed, out of all the people she could have been stuck with in a time like this it had to be Drakken.

He held on to her hand tightly and they both ran through the open window. Drakken screamed until they landed with a loud splash in the water, and after a few seconds both their heads popped out of the water.

They were both breathing each breath as if it were their last. Drakken looked at Shego, who was moving her hair away from her eyes, and smiled. She glanced at him, "What?" "We're alive!" Drakken yelled.

"Yeah, I know but what about the lair?" Both of them looked at once enormous lair, reduced to a small mountain of random materials. "Wow" Drakken whispered.

They swam to shore and walked around the island, "Who do you think did this?" Drakken asked as he 'inspected' a piece of metal.

"Who else?" Shego answered. Drakken walked up next to her.

"What makes you think that?" He asked. Shego pointed to the metal Drakken was holding. Looking closely did Drakken realize it had the exact eerie green glow as the message that was in the now-ruined lair.

"So, what do we do?" Drakken asked. She stared at him.

"I don't know, I want someone to tell me that." She sat down on the sand and buried her head in her arms. "Shego..." Drakken said, lowing to her head level.

"Drakken, I don't know. Wherever I go, she'll find me. She's always one step ahead of me. So, how can I stop her?" She ended, she was fuming.

"Number one, I'm helping. Number two, I know you'll figure out something because you're the obvious 'Sikata' expert." She glanced up at him.

"You'll help?" She whispered. Drakken nodded. "You do know that if you help me, you are putting yourself at risk." Drakken thought about it, and then nodded again.

She smiled at him and stood up, "Well, the first thing to do is to get off this island and fight Sikata." Drakken stood up too.

"Fight Sikata? Are you serious?" Drakken was overwhelmed.

"Yeah, the way I figured it. She'll always get me until I make a fatal mistake so it's better to go to her and end it once and for all." Drakken pondered on her plan while he walked off in search of something. Shego looked around when she heard no reply from Drakken.

"Drakken…Drakken?" She began to yell but was abruptly ended by a soft humming sound. She turned around and found Drakken riding an amazingly unharmed hovercraft.


The room was dark with only one light; it sat on a wooden desk. Two people were in the room. Sikata and a man that could not be seen due to the facts that stayed in the dark shadows.

"SIKATA! YOU IDOIT! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BRING THE BODY TO ME. NOW YOU TELL ME SHE WAS IN A FIRE AND EVERYONE KNOWS YOU DON'T COME OUT IN ONE PIECE BECAUSE YOU'RE IN A FIRE!" The man from the shadows bellowed. His voice was hoarse but with a strange perkiness in his words. Sikata stood in front of him, waiting for a break in his words.

"Permission to speak, sir?" She said in a wise and pleasant voice.

"Fine."

"My apologies on the fire, I did not know this would cause you much discomfort."

"Discomfort…Discomfort. You think I'm feeling that. My plan has failed, and you know what I do to those who fail." He clicked his fingers and a few guards appeared and ran towards her, guns were revealed under their tops. "Take your best shot, gentlemen" She said as she closed her eyes and retrieved her sword. The first guard shot at Sikata's face; she brought the sword to her face and the bullet ricocheted off the sword into a portrait on the wall. Another guard shot at her foot and Sikata moved the sword down to her foot. It continued this way until one of the bullets bounced off her sword into one of the guard's hands, he dropped the sword and clutched his bleeding hand.

The other guards backed off and, once again, Sikata was alone with her boss. She sat down on the chair opposite to him. "You know, with those skills I'd think I got the best for this job." He said menacingly.

"Do not worry, you did get the best." She said very calmly for a person who just got attacked.

"If I got the best then why isn't the job done right? He asked.

"She survived the fire." She said. His face lit.

"Continue…" 'Finally, a decent employee,' he mused to himself.

"I know the girl; she has gone through much worse than a petty fire. I also know that she will have revenge if she wants to. So by doing this fire, she'll think that I am trying to kill her when really I am luring her here. Do you understand me…Renegade?"

Renegade was dumbfounded, how was creating a fire going to help him with plan.

"Explain."

"Tell me, if you knew someone was trying to kill you and then your place of refuge was destroyed. You would not know where to go because you run could but you could never hide from the said killer, So, the only way to be safe was to stop them, and the only way you could do that is if…" Sikata ended abruptly.

"She came to us…excellent work, Sikata there may still be hope for you. However, you missed one crucial element for your plan."

"And that would be…"

"How is she going to find us?" He yelled. Sikata paced around the desk and whispered into his ear.

"I am already one step ahead of you." Sikata smiled smugly.


"So, how do we find her?" Drakken asked as they searched the lair for any clues. Shego pondered on the question until something caught her eye,

"Stop the hovercraft." She jumped out looked at it. She knew she had seen somewhere before, it was a diamond but covered…in a greenish glow.

Drakken walked up next to her and glanced at the object, "Do you know what this is, Dr. D?" She handed it to him; Drakken looked carefully and then nodded his head.

"No idea, but they sell it at the Black Market, why did you want to know? He gave it back to Shego.

"Because…this is a part of Sikata's sword." Shego said. They walked into the hovercraft and Shego began to start the engine up. Their next stop was the Black Market, not knowing that they were practically gift-wrapping themselves for Renegade and Sikata.


Meanwhile, Sikata had left her boss and agreed to watch Shego. She got out of the boat and walked to a little place the criminals liked to call, the Black Market. She was waiting, but were they coming?


A.N- I am not killing Shego on the second chapter, maybe the third or the forth, but not the second.
